Calculating the Short Circuit Current when there is a Transformer in the circuit. Every transformer has “ %” impedance value stamped on the nameplate. Why is it stamped? It is stamped because it is a tested value after the transformer has been manufactured. The test is as follows: A voltmeter is connected to the primary of the transformer and the secondary 3-Phase windings are bolted together with an ampere meter to read the value
of current flowing in the 3-Phase bolted fault on the secondary. The voltage is brought up in steps until the secondary full load current is reached on the ampere meter connected on the transformer secondary.
So what does this mean for a 1000KVA 13.8KV – 480Y/277V.
First you will need to know the transformer Full Load Amps
Full Load Ampere = KVA / 1.73 x L-L KV
FLA = 1000 / 1.732 x 0.48
FLA = 1,202.85
The 1000KVA 480V secondary full load ampere is 1,202A.
When the secondary ampere meter reads 1,202A and the primary Voltage Meter reads 793.5V. The percent of impedance value is 793.5 / 13800 = 0.0575. Therefore;
% Z = 0.0575 x 100 = 5.75%
